We're still battling the chill of winter, which is why were consoling ourselves with one of the best things about the season: hot cocktails. Most toddies, Irish coffees, and warm punches feature liquors of the whisky variety, but we have options for the wine, tequila, and gin drinkers as well. So raise a mug, and stay warm until spring.

There are few things better than hot apple cider, but spiked hot apple cider definitely makes that list. This version is especially delicious, thanks to the addition of chopped ginger while the cider simmers.

The botanicals in gin might seem better suited to the warmer months, but one sip of this gin toddy is sure to change your mind. Paired with an orange wedge for the citrus component, this may be your new go-to for winter sipping.

This warm punch is the perfect drink to serve as digestif after your dinner party. The cranberries give it a tartness to balance the sweet Riesling, while the sage and peppercorns round it out with notes of herb and spice.

Don't be put off by the name of this cocktail — it's really just a take on a hot toddy, but a bit simpler. All that's required is hot water, whisky or scotch, and a lemon peel. If you like things on the sweeter side, you can also add a bit of sugar or simple syrup.

When you think about it, adding tea like chamomile to a hot toddy just makes sense. It adds another level of flavor without adding a lot of sweetness. We especially love that this chamomile toddy is paired with a not-too-acidic Meyer lemon.
